Description
Adapter zum Verbinden einer Vielzahl optischer Stecker. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Stecker und insbesondere ein System und ein Verfahren zum Aneinanderkoppeln von Steckern.adapter for connecting a plurality of optical connectors. The present The invention relates to connectors, and more particularly to a system and method for Connecting plugs together.

Bei herkömmlichen optischen Fasersteckeradaptern gibt es manchmal mit der Ausrichtung Probleme und das Verrasten optischer Stecker im Adapter ist manchmal unbefriedigend. Herkömmliche Mehrfachverbinderadapter weisen mehrteilige Rahmen aus Epoxiharz auf, um die Rahmen zu bilden. Das Zusammenfügen der Rahmen kostet Herstellungszeit und kann bei der Qualitätskontrolle zu Problemen führen. Herkömmliche Adapter erzeugen nicht notwendigerweise ein adäquates Steckverbindungsspiel in Steckrichtung (Z-Achsen-Spiel). Es besteht der Wunsch nach einem Adapterrahmen mit einem stabileren Körper, besserer Verrastung und besserer Ausrüstung. Es besteht ebenfalls der Wunsch nach Einwirkung einer Federkraft auf die einzelnen Adaptergehäuse, um verschiedene optische Verbinder-Randbedingungen zu kompensieren und um ein größeres Z-Achsen-Spiel der optischen Stecker zu gewährleisten, wenn diese an dem Adapter befestigt sind. Zusätzlich besteht der Wunsch nach einem schnelleren Herstellungsverfahren zum Zusammenbauen eines optischen Fasersteckeradapters mit besseren Qualitätskontrollmöglichkeiten und unter Vermeidung von Epoxiharz.at usual Optical fiber plug adapters sometimes exist with the orientation Problems and latching optical connectors in the adapter is sometimes unsatisfactory. Conventional multi-connector adapters have multi-part epoxy resin frames to form the frames. The Put together The frame costs manufacturing time and can be used during quality control cause problems. conventional Adapters do not necessarily create an adequate pluggable game in the direction of insertion (Z-axis clearance). There is a desire for one Adapter frame with a sturdier body, better locking and better equipment. There is also the desire for action of a spring force on the individual adapter housings, to compensate for various optical connector constraints and a bigger Z-axis game to ensure the optical connector if they are attached to the adapter. In addition, there is a desire for a faster manufacturing process for assembling a optical fiber connector adapter with better quality control capabilities and avoiding epoxy resin.
